Registrations are now open for players to trial to be selected for the WA State Schoolgirls and Schoolboys teams for 2018.

The teams will participate in the Australian Schools National competition against New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, ACT and South Australia as part of the new agreement between Football West and School Sport WA promoting player involvement in both associations.

Last year’s competition, held as part of the Pacific Schools game, was an expanded competition to involve international teams. The boys finished well in sixth while the girls finished fourth from the nine teams competing.

Both teams have a strong history of player selection for the Australian School teams, with three selected from 2017 to play against other internationally selected teams.

To be eligible for WA selection, players must:

Be a full time student at a recognised educational institution (Schools: State / Private orTAFE)

Boys must be no older than 16 yrs as of December 31, 2018

Girls must be no older than 18 yrs as of December 31, 2018

NTC or State-based players within Football West programs are now eligible for selection.
